How should PCB react to Bangladesh's absence from the T20I World Cup 2026, following their refusal to play matches in India?

[Fenrir]

All this is chooran for public.

Remember the Pycroft saga?

Reality is Paksitan is a poor board who can't even afford DRS and have third class companies as sponsors like Tapal Tea.

Boycotting and seeing that nothing changes will shatter the delusion.

Being poor has nothing to do with it.You need guts and everyone doesn’t have guts.Many small countries taken stands against powerful countries because they have a backbone.PCB needs to show spine.

 

[LordJames]

There were reports in Geo News that PCB has asked its players to stop practicing and threatened to pull out from the tournament all together if BCBs demands were not met.

Now ICC has denied to shift venues as per Bangladesh's request.

So what should be the course of action by PCB? Should they maintain their stance of boycott or just carry on with the tournament as this doesn't concern them?

Golden diplomatic opportunity for Pakistan!

Support Bangladesh and pull out and gain an ally and love of people of Bangladesh for life, forget Cricket.

An opportunity of a lifetime has been gifted to Pakistan to try to amend the bad PR of "East Pakistan".

There are youtube and social media view businessman journalists in this subcontinent in huge numbers who spreads these kinds of false attractive news

The main thing is Pakistan will never boycott this world cup and should not do it because of Bangladesh. They should protest icc decision to through Bangladesh out of this world cup with injustice

 

[Mainul]

ICC will ruin world cricket. They have thrown a 20 million people's cricket loving country out of world cup whereas cricket failed to become a global game.

It shows the depravity of current ICC ( Indian) regime and their stances bases on ego and fake bravado to appease extremist population at home.

Indians are happy to rig the world cup draw to ensure they play Pakistan, and are happy to play one match in Sri Lanka to facilitate this, but can't stomach Bangladesh playing in Sri Lanka.

There is an extreme level of autocracy and hypocrisy are going on in ICC and every cricket board is acting like all have been going on fine !! Money talks and justice is denied!!

I just can't tolerate these. Indians are enjoying this autocracy and hypocrisy and they are not protesting because India has been leading this and they are being benefitted a lot .

Indians want to play Pak which is why a few years after Bombay attacks , they invited Pakistan to India only to be humiliated, badly beaten .

Rajdeep trying to be clever (not his forte ) informed me the final is in Colombo . India wants a war Pak final , otherwise final would be in India

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I always find it hilarious that indians always beg and look towards other boards to boycott them because they know that their own board is so shameless that they have zero hopes from them.

Can you tell me, after removing Bangla lens, how is ICC ruining world cricket? If anything, had ICC accepted BCBs absurd demands, it would have created a norm. Tomorrow Australia or England will say they also want hybrid model as they get food posioning in Asian countries...so want to play in their own home. Where does this ever stop?

A tough stance was required to kill this hybrid drana in the butt. That is exactly what they have written in their press release. Kudos to them.

 

[Concerned]

Pakistan team is weak compared to others and are unlikely to achieve anything. To save humiliation, they rather support the BCB cause and drop out if needed

[Rajdeep]

Humm. Double standard isn't it? Why you didn't say it when India was given hybrid chance in champion trophy?

Hmmm...so your real beef is why India got hybrid model but BD didnt. The security situation was always a drama. Then again everyone knew it.

Personally I was against India getting hybrid arrangements and even written about it here. However I can understand why ICC accomodated India -

A. No ICC events can happen without them as broadcaster will not pay money.

B. India's security concerns were genuine and not conditional.

Hope in future India sits out too instead of playing in hybrid.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan did their part. We appreciate the gesture. Thank you.

Anyway, I don't think Pakistan should boycott, unless they want to hurt BCCICC's pocket and sabotage India.

Pakistan already got what they wanted (all of their games are outside of India).

 

[The Bald Eagle]

If PCB are going to withdraw, they should it quickly so Babar can go back to Australia for the BBL final.

And ruin the party for sixers

 

[Devadwal]

I saw a clip on Geo News where Latif and another clown were saying that Pakistan will either have to boycott India or not play with them at all, then we will see how ICC/BCCI make money.

In a brief reply, Ahmed Shehzad said - Earlier we had said that stop Pakistani players from IPL, then see how IPL runs, they did this, then one day they will do this too, nothing will happen to them but we will become bankrupt .

 

[Savak]

Bangladesh should fend for themselves. PCB can morally support them but no need to go dying with them.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan must win the tournament now and dedicate it to Bangladesh.

 

[srh8119]

For the first time, Pakistan has a chance to team up with atleast one other team to take a stance against the open discrimination and blatant favouritism of ICC for BCCI.
They should stand with BCB and pull out of tournament, so all can witness once more that ICC is just indian cricket council now.
International cricket has been sabotaged by them and their IPL money.

 

[nish_mate]

ICC will ruin world cricket. They have thrown a 20 million people's cricket loving country out of world cup whereas cricket failed to become a global game.

First of all agree on BD's population, your BCB official says 200 million, you say 20 million, World Bank data says circa 174 million for 2024.

Secondly the 200m cricket loving nation have produced of 0 cricketing value for all the years and takas invested in them. Time to incubate and nurture better markets than the failed cricketing basket case team that is BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh should fend for themselves. PCB can morally support them but no need to go dying with them.

Yeah. That's fair.

 

[rpant_gabba]

One of the options is join the legal battle. those who voted for it,

• Savak
• jaspa888
• hur rizvi
• PakFan2010
• sweep_shot
• IronShield

Can you elaborate a bit? legal battle implies some court. Can you tell me which court will hear the case? One that has jurisdiction?

Who would be the plaintiff? Who would be defendant?

 

[nish_mate]

Cricket's failing to become a global game precisely because of wrong teams being backed and nurtured. If only BCCI and ICC had invested in Scotland etc, we would have had more stronger cricketing teams rather than the 7 legacy powerhouses who keep playing at Tier 1 alongside the Afghan lads.

 

[Robbie]

Seeing this bangla humiliation gives me so much joy .. Pakistani and Indian awam seem so mature and cordial when we meet abroad like you won't believe it..
I have never seen any bangladeshi and Indian or Pakistani bonhomie in the US or in Australia but I have seen every other subcontinent living as they belong together whether they are sri lankan, nepali , afghan. You feel brotherly love when away from subcontinent but Bangladeshis seem distant..

May be it's just me but no Pakistani, indian , sri lankan , nepali ever seem to include Bangladeshis in their friend circle even if Bangladeshis are in big numbers around them.

I feel they are too distant from us whether it is hygiene, eating habits, culture, the inferiority complex they have when they meet any Indian or Pakistani, it makes them maintain some distance from their subcontinent brothers.

Have other PPers felt the same who live in the west or visit abroad sometimes.. may be it's just me

 

[sweep_shot]

Seeing this bangla humiliation gives me so much joy ..

Humiliation? How?

BD wanted to play in SL or withdraw from the tournament. Looks like BD is getting what they wanted.

I personally do not want BD to play in India in the present or in the future (until there is a regime change).

So, nothing humiliating here. Most Bangladeshis do not want BD to play in India.

You can continue to have joy, however. Nobody is stopping you.

Nah. Bangladesh wanted to play in SRL and that demand got rejected.

Now any team can pull out of a tournament, even Scotland, that doesn't really count as any sort of win. You have to be delusional to think that

[adi_62941]

India has already developed strong rivalries with Australia, England, and South Africa, so they don’t need Pakistan anymore.

And there will not be any group-stage matches between India and Pakistan after this ICC event. So it’s quite clear that the BCCI/ICC is moving away from relying on India–Pakistan matches to make money. Soon, you will see no ICC event matches between India and Pakistan, and Pakistan will be sidelined.

It’s high time we build some competition with India; otherwise, we are doomed.

There is no doubt that there is a great injustice right now. But India is single-handedly generating around 70% of the ICC’s revenue and, in a way, financially supporting other member boards. What do boards like the BCB and PCB contribute to the ICC?

Pakistan didnt stood for any justice...LMAO. They just wanted to disrupt the plan for India holding an ICC event and was waiting for an opportunity since last years Champions trophy. Ask them to stand for justice now and boycott this WT20 as well as they threatened.

Had ICC accepted Bangladesh's absurd demands, it would have been a norm in future. Tomorrow some other board will ask for hybrid arrangements. So this has to stop somewhere and board members are right in rejecting BCBs demands.

ICC is correct here. The biggest blame goes to PCB who duped BCB with 'aage baro hum tumhare saath hai' slogans and now ran away Bangladesh ko chorke.

İsn't it İndia where in the past match had to be stopped when Pakistani team was pelted on the ground, or where pitch was dug up before the match?
What makes İndia's concern legitimate and Bangladesh's not? Seeing the hate and treatment of Bengalis and Muslims in the country in recent past, it makes absolute sense for them to do it if they want.
İf you say it's a flimsy reason, then so was İndia's conaidering there were İndian teams from other sports already visiting

İndia sets all the bad tones and precedents (aka handshake scandal, no trophy scandal) but İCC expects others to bend over and stop the drama??

You are the one acting silly and ignorant here, Raju. Pakistan showed support for Bangladesh and voted in their favour. They never claimed they would boycott the tournament, because they had no grounds to do so, as clearly stated by the Pakistan Cricket Board in the article I shared.

Now that Bangladesh isn't coming, you and other andhbhakts are behaving like 'khisyaani billi khamba noche'. You want Pakistan to boycott the entire tournament for Bangladesh, when India itself couldn't even boycott its match against Pakistan after Operation Sindoor let alone the whole tournament.

Why dont you share the official statement from PCB where they denied the statement?

You are asking 'Offi chiyal estsment' from everyone but here trusting a news story from Hindustan times more than Geo news related to Pak cricket

Also it is ironic that on a thread where you are fighting and defending PCB, most posters are asking PCB to boycott based on the poll in OP.

I have no issues whether Pakistan takes part in it or not. If anything, I want them to play just for entertainment. Also it will be proven they have chickened out again after threatning to boycott, just like in Asia cup.

Pakistan has 2 options - play and prove their words have no value.

Boycott to prove their mettle but lose the $$$ from ICC.

Its a lose lose for PCB. That is why they should not have dug into the hole for themselves.

İndia's security concerns were legitimate?
İsn't it İndia where in the past match had to be stopped when Pakistani team was pelted on the ground, or where pitch was dug up before the match?
What makes İndia's concern legitimate and Bangladesh's not? Seeing the hate and treatment of Bengalis and Muslims in the country in recent past, it makes absolute sense for them to do it if they want.
İf you say it's a flimsy reason, then so was İndia's conaidering there were İndian teams from other sports already visiting

İndia sets all the bad tones and precedents (aka handshake scandal, no trophy scandal) but İCC expects others to bend over and stop the drama??

What I meant was, India's stance on security is consistent.

Does this mean, Pakistan will not be able to provide security to Indian cricket team? Ofcourse not.

Does this mean Indian players will get attacked as soon as they land in Pakistan? Chances are very low.

However, Indias stance is clear since 2008 that they will not send its cricket team to Pakistan.

This is not the case for Pakistan or Bangladesh. Pakistan toured India in 2012, 2016, 2023. Their ex chairman Najam Sethi even proposed resumption of bilateral series, where Pak home games will be in UAE and Pak tours India. Pakistan also agreed to tour India for this WT20 had India travelled in CT. So you see the difference? Pakistan's refusal to travel to India is a *** for tat approach - if you cant come, we will also not go. But if you come, no security threats and we will also come. This is however not the case with India. They will not travel to Pakistan come what may. Security situation is not a joke and cannot be conditional.

Less said about Bangladesh, the better. They had no security concerns even when BD announced the fixture. Suddenly when Mustafizur is chucked out, security concern risen for them.

You think ICC and other boards are stupid to not see these dramas? Hence ICC rejected BCBs requests.

Also what do you mean by how Indian treat Bengalis? It is ironic that a Pakistani says that considering 1971.

You are right about Fizz. My point is, Bangladesh ka rona excessive ho gaya.. aur abhi aur rona padega uske baad. Avoidable tha Bhaggu.

Seriously, how dumb can one be? People like you are questioning Bangladesh over security concerns while conveniently forgetting why Mustafizur Rahman was removed from the Indian Premier League. You only want to look at one side of the story.

Also, what's the timeline for security to suddenly go from safe to unsafe? If something serious happens just two days before a tournament and a country feels its players security is at risk, why can't they raise questions over the security? Do you guys think or what?

Their denial is in Post #29. Ab rone mat lag jana kal ki tarah. It's your turn to post the official statement from PCB regarding boycott.

That is a report from RevSports which is an Indian youtube channel run by Boria Mazumdar. I am asking official statement from PCB, the same way you are asking from me.

Thing is, Geo News story about Pakistan cricket is worth much more than RevSports in India. So I have no reason to not trust that PCB did threaten to boycott.

Tu darr kyon raha hai? Pakistan khelega. Dont worry.

Okay last line was bit of a joke but you got the gyst.
